The First Triathlon Diabetes Andalucía will take place between days 18 and 25 next July.The peculiarity of this tour is that for 8 consecutive days, a group of between 9 athletes with type 1 diabetes, will perform a sprint triathlon in each of the Andalusian provinces (some by relays according to their discipline and others in a complete way), withthe purpose of sending the message that diabetes should not limit us when we propose different sports challenges, but with a
Good control of the disease and good preparation, we can deal with everything we set out, marking our limits and not the disease, having to constitute physical activity a fundamental part of its treatment.
For this reason, the character of this test is fundamentally educational, in terms of type 1 diabetes, it will be a non -competitive sporting event, taking advantage of the fact that some of the routes with camps for children with diabetes for diabetes coincide for diabetesThat participating athletes intervene in group therapeutic education courses for children with diabetes that will be carried out in the cities of Seville, Córdoba and Granada, on July 19, 22 and 25 respectively.
Given the recent Constitution of the Spanish Association for Sports with Diabetes and the Team One team (test organizers), the few economic resources that they have today, and that the main objective pursued with this project isConsulting a correct diabetological education, participation in this event has been limited to only 9 athletes on which a distance will be carried out by health professionals through telemedicine systems, they themselves will carry a rigorous control of their glucose levels before,During and after each of the physical tests they face, after the tests perform at different points a series of talks and workshops in which they will present their experience to manage diabetes and sport in a healthy way, trying to reach mainly to theminors in order for sport to become a fundamental part of its treatment.
These 9 athletes are all of them amateur, because as we have already indicated the main object of this project is to show the diabetic community that sport is fundamental in good disease control, and it is important to include it among our daily routines, soThat, what better to prove it that people on foot who do not dedicate themselves to this professionally, but that in which the sport is present in their day to day.
